Vigilante justice in the Af-Pak region
Original publication date:
Sat, 06/27/2009 - 01:00 The US president's denunciation of the violence in Tehran (Report, 24 June) might carry more moral authority if his administration stopped carrying out vigilante justice in the Af-Pak region (US missile strike kills 60 at funeral, 24 June). A week earlier the new US commander in Afghanistan said he would sharply restrict the use of air strikes in an effort to reduce the civilian deaths that he said were undermining the US-led mission.
